at least once
a season with light oil. This control
must operate freely in
both directions.

Lubricate
the wheels at least once a season with light oil (or
motor oil). If wheels are removed
for any reason, lubricate
surface of the pivot arm and inner surface of the wheel
with light oil. See Fig. 6-1.
3.
Lubricate
the torsion spring and pivot points on the rear
discharge
door and side mulch plug periodically
with light
oil to prevent
rust. See Fig. 6-1.

Follow the accompanying
engine
manual for lubrication
schedule
and instruction
for engine

DeckCare
Clean underside
of the mower deck after each use to prevent
build-up
of grass clippings
or other debris. Follow steps below
for this job.
1.
Disconnect
spark plug wire. Drain gasoline
from lawn
mower
or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.
2.
Tip mower so that it rests on the housing.
Keep the side
with the air cleaner facing up. Hold mower firmly.
WARNING:
Never tip the mower more than 90 ° in
any direction
and do not leave the mower tipped
for
any length
of time. Oil can drain into the upper part
of the engine causing a starting
problem.
3.
Scrape and clean the underside
of the deck with a suitable
tool. Do not spray with water.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a pressure washer or garden
hose
to clean your unit. These may cause damage to bearings,
or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened
life
and reduce serviceability.
4.
Put the mower
back on its wheels on the ground.
If you
had put plastic under the gas cap earlier, make sure to
remove
it now.
